How to Get Out of a Funk to Get Motivated Getting in shape takes desire for change, belief in yourself, motivation to get started, and determination to reach your goals, it takes perseverance and a positive mental attitude to achieve success.   I’m often asked how I stay motivated after all these years... I have been a fitness enthusiast for nearly 25 years.  Staying motivated takes fortitude and dedication to working towards my goals every day.  I visualize how I want to be as though I've already achieved it.   I stay optimistic and see the good in everyone & everything that I do.  I love myself unconditionally and give to others daily, this enables me to balance my body, mind & spirit daily, which keeps me on track and in line with that which I desire to accomplish in all areas of my life.

WHAT TO EAT TO LOSE WEIGHT I don't know about you but I love to eat healthy whole foods! I love how my body feels when it's fueled with the foods it craves and I love having a trim waistline.  Having a pantry full of healthy foods makes it easier to stay on track with your fitness and weight loss goals along with losing weight easier and with less effort. You can train all day long in a gym but if you don't eat clean you will become highly frustrated and give up before you give yourself a real chance to see transformation in your body.  Your body desires foods it can actually process. 

LEAVE THE EXCUSES BEHIND Stop the chaos in your mind and leave the excuses behind... All the negative thoughts and feelings only keep you stuck in what you don't want!  So take control of your thoughts by believing in your abilities to su cceed in living a healthier, happier way of life. A happy mind creates a happy body and a happy body create happy emotions and is healthier and more energetic. This Christmas season give yourself the gift early this year, give yourself the treasured gift of health that only you can give. Learn to love and accept your life and body just as it is now to embrace a journey of self-discovery and transformation. You have what it takes to accomplish your fitness goals and dreams. So step up to the plate now and let go of all your needless excuses of why you don't have time to exercise and eat right -- if you make YOU a high priority YOU WILL find the time and you will naturally crave healthier food choices. So get up off the couch, throw

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...    LET GO OF THE PAST! Did you know that you are the only one standing in your way of achieving that which you desire? If you struggle with keeping your word to yourself or find that you self-sabotage your efforts then you need to let go of what's holding you back.  When we have negative, resentful feelings of ourselves or of others it is a power low energy of resistance to that which is wanted which will continue to attract more reasons to be worried or have feelings of resentment. Like always attracts like in all things, it's the Law of Attraction in action.  If you want more love in your life then you need to let go of the past, and forgive those that hurt you. By playing the negative memories over and over in your mind you become the victim and the perpetrator, you become a prisoner in your own mind.  Replaying hurtful movies continually only cements fear beliefs in your subconscious mind which causes you to mentally create bigger and s

THE POWER OF MEDITATION “You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.”   ~ Darwin P. Kingsley The power to control your mind is one of the most empowering things you can do, it will literally shift your vibration to a higher energy frequency to enable you to manifest the life of your dreams. We were all born with the innate ability to create our lives intentionally; however, many of us have lost the connection of living in harmony with our higher-selves, our true essence, which is the fuel to rocket our desires to manifest into your reality and rather than living our dreams we’re just enduring our life experiences.  

How Exercise Increases Feel-Good Hormones We all want to feel happier and more carefree. It’s too often that we allow stress to overrun our lives. Many of us struggle from day to day just to feel good let alone feel excited about life. Well, I’m happy to say that there’s a natural way to get a “natural high” otherwise known as “feel-good” hormones and that comes by exercising at least 3 to 6 days a week.  If you’re new to living a fit lifestyle, not to worry,  you don’t have to jump in head first into a fitness program, that will only overwhelm you, which may set you back even further once you become overly exhausted and fatigued from being unconditioned.
